Flag
Description
three horizontal bands of yellow (top, double-width), blue,
and red; the flag retains the three main colors of the banner
of Gran Colombia, the short-lived South American republic
that broke up in 1830; various interpretations of the colors
exist and include: yellow for the gold in Colombia's land,
blue for the seas on its shores, and red for the blood spilled
in attaining freedom; alternatively, the colors have been
described as representing more elemental concepts such as
sovereignty and justice (yellow), loyalty and vigilance
(blue), and valor and generosity (red); or simply the principles
of liberty, equality, and fraternity

note: similar to the flag of Ecuador, which is longer and
bears the Ecuadorian coat of arms superimposed in the center

Colombian National Anthem
Oh, unfading glory!
Oh, inmortal joy!
In furrows of pain,
the good now germinates.

The fearful night has ceased.
Liberty sublime
shines forth the dawning
of its invincible light.
All of mankind,
moaning in chains,
understands the words
of the one who died on the cross.

"Independence!" cries
the American world;
The land of Columbus.
Is bathed in heroes' blood.
But this great principle;
"The king is not sovereign",
resounds, and those who suffer
bless their passion.

The Orinoco's bed
Is heaped with plunder,
The river runs
With blood and weeping.
In Bárbula
neither soul nor eyes,
know whether to feel shock
or to suffer fright.
On the shores of the Caribbean,
the famished people fight,
choosing the horrors
over fickle health.
O, aye! for Cartagena
heavy is the hardship,
but her virtue
disdains death's rubble.

From Boyacá in the fields,
the genius of glory,
for every ear a hero
undefeated crowned.
Soldiers without breastplate
won victory;
their virile breath
as shield served.

Bolívar crosses the Andes
that two oceans bathe,
swords as sparks
shine in Junín.
Untameable centaurs
descend to the plains,
and a prescience begins to be felt,
the epic' end has come.

The victorious trumpet
in Ayacucho loudly thunders,
that in every triumph grows
its formidable sound.
In its expansive thrust
Liberty is worn for the first time,
from the American sky
a pavilion forming up.

In agony, the Virgin
Tears out her hair,
and bereft of her love,
leaves it to hang on a cypress.
Regretting her hope
is covered by a cold headstone,
but glorious pride
hallows her fair skin.
Thus the motherland is formed,
Thermopylaes are breaking forth;
constellation of cyclops
its night brightened.
The trembling flower
finding the wind mortal,
underneath the laurels
its safety sought.

But it's not complete glory
to defeat in battle,
that the arm that fights
is encouraged by truth.
For independence alone
The great clamour doesn't silence;
if the sun illuminates everyone,
justice is liberty.

From men the rights
Nariño's preaching,
the soul of struggle
was prophetically taught.
When Ricaurte in San Mateo,
in atoms flying,
"Duty before life,"
with flames he wrote.
